PS3 Project RSX Boost: Overclock your Retail PS3 RSX Speeds (ps3 cfw only)

Mitsu™ said:
Later date = better probability to find a PS3 with a CXD5300GGB RSX.
That said, there is still a part of luck, as someone got a 25XX 1A(=January/February/March 2011) with a CXD5300A1GB in it (the earliest RSX you can find in a 25XX, OCing less).
Sony getting rid of its old stocks, probably.



With the 28nm RSX there are only 2 VRAM chips (against 4 before), so I don't know.

Nope. While good temperatures can help stabilizing, if an OC need that to be stable then you shouldn't keep it.
A good OC must be stable no matter the temps.

Yeah old stock can creep it's way into manufacturing. That for sure happens. So far all my 2011 January can do 850 and 900 core stable, with 975 memory easy. I likely can do 1000 on my 900 core PS3s, but haven't bothered just yet. I might give it a shot later today. One of them has to have stability at 1000 memory. And I took appart that PS3 that does 900 to clean and repaste, and yup it's GGB RSX.

Btw my ps3 handle max 700 tried 700/1000 after after reading forms here from tanzu and all of the members tried sonic unleashed on the first level of sonic running the rings where broken and everything started becoming stuck I revert and tried 700/975 from one of your post and is stable now it is possible that you can make a 700/980 a little but higher or you need to 20mhz up or 50mhz just asking because it seems stable enough and i want the performance tho...

I hope so ! I would be very surprised if it cannot do 1000MHz VRAM.

We can only have 25MHz increments for VRAM, so you're "stuck" at 975.
You're not losing much though, taking once again RIP-Felix experiments on "Murder" Crysis as exemple, between 800/950 and 800/975, there is only an improvement of 1,227 %.
18.75 FPS →18.98 FPS

Hi everyone,

been following the thread for a while, and read through the first 60 pages. but im a little bit confused by the amount of info here.

So my ps3 is a slim 2004. is there any stat available for the highest typical clock rate?

i mean i will start oc from stock and will try every step, but whats your opinion about the theoretical max for this model?

thanks in advance.

I possess two 2004B.
They can do 650/900 stable. 700 on core is possible depending on the health of your NEC Tokins capacitors.
On my second 2004B, 700 works in some games but in intensives games like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, it will shutdown due to the NEC Tokins. (Shutdown, 3 beeps and 1002 errors on the SYSCON log)
In fact, earlier in this thread, when users were reporting this with Red Dead Redemption, I think it was also capacitors related.

Btw, don't worry too much about their possible failure. Keep your console as cool as possible and they should last quite long.

650 core and 850 or 900 memory. Fully stable. Anything higher will artifact or potentially cause a brick. That model can do 650 on core just fine though.

Edit:/Update. Just received my 5th 2501B January today lol. 900 core stable. This isn't just a chance anymore. January was the overhaul of efficiency and yields of these chips. This is my 3rd 900 core now. January 2501Bs are the goat. They are it. But very very very rare to find. They are unicorns. All you'll find are July 2010 through November. Even December's are more rare. But easier to find than January. @RIP-Felix

@Tanzu15 would you please fill out a chart with the following information.
  1. model number
  2. full rsx sku, if known (when you change paste, take a pic)
  3. highest stable Core/vram clocks
  4. motherboard revision (dump syscon errorlog in evilnat CFW tools. The platform ID I can use to lookup the MB revision. 25xx models had 2 different boards they can be. And I dont want to assume.
  5. the RSX Info string from the LV1 dump. This tells me who made the die, possably even the GDDR3, and the lot number of that particular RSX. Some lots are emerging as good ones.
  6. and the MNF date. So far 25xx from Q3 or Q4 2010 have clocked the higest. And most are SONY fabed 40s.

I find CECH-2501A with manufactured date April 2011

is this model even support CFW ?! Because I heard before that late revision model of 2501A doesn't support CFW.

Check your DMs I sent you everything you need. This should be good data.

April would be impossible to do cfw. That's a long time from January.

A comparison on Gran Turismo 6 1080p between 500/650, 600/750, 700/900 and 800/1000.

damn this is awesome. The gains are big. Thanks for this. I gotta go test GT6 myself. I recently just installed all the updates. So I have some testing to do.

Glad you like it ! Yes, gains are more than satisfying ! 800/1000 is almost a constant 60fps, I guess that 900/1000 (or 975) can achieve it easily.
I plan to do more videos like this :)

so I tested 1000 memory on 1 of my 900 cores. And it does it with zero issues lol. 975 is a great safety net. But I have enough PS3s now to have risked it. 1025 is a no go. But I am envious of the guy that did 1200. So he says. Kinda doubt that though. 1200 would have to be GDDR5 memory pretty much. No way a cfw PS3 was equipped with memory enough to do 1200mhz. For now though I will be testing 1000 extensively.

Same, I'm not saying he is a liar at all, but 1200MHz...
1000MHz is already super risky and can brick many PS3, 1025MHz-1050 is barely possible...
My brain need proofs :D

Yeah I doubt anyone with a cfw capable PS3 can do 1200. That's just not possible. 1025 would brick 99.9% of all the cfw PS3s. 1000 already either bricks or forces you to cool down the PS3 and head to recovery menu. And that's the best case scenario. Worst case, you get a full blown brick. Testing 1000 is already risky. But I have 5 or 6 January 2011 PS3s so testing on my part is safer. Plus I've extensively tested for stability at 975 and it's rock solid. Now testing 1000. On my other 900 core just now, I tested 1000. When it reaches67-70c is freezes and crashes the whole system. So people really need to test if their core and memory is stable at 68-75c for an hour or 2. That will tell you if your OC is super stable. Currently testing my main 900 core PS3 at 1000. Will report back if my baby pases all tests at 1000:D

Edit: My main JTP 2501B January 2011 117 day PS3 Slim is 1000 memory fully stable! Passed all the stress tests and even tested at lower fan speeds so temps creeped up to 70c. No crashes zero artifacts. So this is my fastest most stable PS3. It's my main for sure. @Mitsu™ @RIP-Felix

Hello! At this moment I am testing the 700/900 b9 version and so far it is going well. Could you compile a 750/900 version? or what do you recommend? 2501a Jul 2010
thanks!
